A 29-year-old Lansing man is expected to be arraigned today on charges that he stabbed his girlfriend to death at their apartment.
Police did not release the man's name or the name of his 22-year-old girlfriend.
At about 3:45 a.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a report of a stabbing at the apartment in the 2300 block of East Jolly Road, east of Aurelius Road, said Lansing police Lt. Noel Garcia.
The woman was found with multiple stab wounds.
Emergency responders performed CPR and took her to a local hospital, where she died of her injuries, Garcia said.
The couple lived together at the apartment, he said.
Officers found and arrested the man without incident at the apartment.
There are no additional suspects, police said.
The woman had three children - ages 2, 5 and 7 - who were not at the apartment at the time and are living with a relative, Garcia said.
The suspect is not the father of the children, he said.
Before releasing the woman's name, Garcia said, "We're going to give her family another day to notify other family members."
The arraignment will be held in 54A District Court.
